What is orography?

With the development of economy and technology, the standard of oral health is increasing, and the requirement for "accuracy" of oral treatment is also getting higher and higher, the application of "mouth scan" makes the dental restoration and orthodontics into a more accurate digital treatment era.

What is orography?
It is an optical instrument that applies the principle of optics to collect the three-dimensional digital model of the patient's intraoral dentition and gum and mucosa, and can obtain the accurate digital model of the oral cavity in real time.
Compared with the traditional mold taking, what is the advantage of the "mouth scan" instrument full of technology?

1.fast, safe and comfortable

Patients who have had veneers should be able to experience that the traditional "biting" experience is poor, the mouth is open for a long time, and the foreign body feeling is strong, which makes it easy to produce discomfort such as dryness and nausea, while the mouth scan completely avoids this problem and the probe scanning process is relatively comfortable. It takes about 10-20 minutes to take the traditional model, but the mouth scan only takes 5-8 minutes. The traditional model needs to be sent to the processing plant through logistics, the cycle time is about 7-15 days, while the oral scan data is sent to the processing plant through the network, the cycle time is 3-7 days

2.Improved accuracy

The traditional process of making plaster tooth models is not only tedious, but also subject to many factors of human interference, which greatly affects the accuracy of the model, and thus the accuracy of the denture and orthodontic appliances. The 3D printing of the denture is directly shaped by computer analysis of data and then design, and the whole process is carried out with the patient's precise data, which reduces manual errors and improves the yield rate of the denture and invisible aligner.
3.Visualization of doctor-patient communication
The patient can see the animated model of the teeth after the mouth scan, which allows the patient to visualize the treatment plan and have a higher sense of participation in the expected results, improving the efficiency of doctor-patient communication.
The mouth scan can bring more accurate treatment to patients in the field of restorative dentistry, implantology and orthodontics. For those who have missing teeth, chipped teeth and malocclusion, the intelligent era of mouth sweep can give you a more perfect treatment.
